Which engine suppliers supply engines for Russian or Ukrainian commercial aircraft? Do some of them have western engines such as GE,RR,PW? If not, how do they compare to western engines ? Is it possible we that we might see a merger or joint venture of a Russian engine supplier with a western manufactuer? Thanks

The new engines are getting better and better. The Russians/Ukrainians/Soviets have managed to create some designs that are unique, for example the NK-93 ducted propfan. This engine has a specific fuel burn similar to the GENx and Trent 1000, but its design is more than 10 years old!

There is already a joint-venture. Snecma and NPO Saturn have joined their forces to build the engine for the SSJ100. It has just started flight tests.

Thank you, I wonder if we will ever see a Russian manufacturer like this compete with GE, RRPW with engines for large jets from Boeing Airbus etc.
